单词 marijuana
释义

marijuanan.

Brit. /ˌmarᵻˈ(h)wɑːnə/, U.S. /ˌmɛrəˈ(h)wɑnə/
Forms: 1800s mariguan, 1800s mariguana, 1900s– mara huiwane, 1900s– marajuana, 1900s– mariahuana, 1900s– mariguana, 1900s– marihuana, 1900s– marijuana, 1900s– merrywanna (humorous).
Origin: A borrowing from Spanish. Etymon: Spanish mariguana.
Etymology: < Mexican Spanish mariguana, marihuana, of uncertain origin.It has been suggested that the Spanish word is < Nahuatl mallihuan prisoner. Forms in -j- appear to be an English innovation (attested later also in French): occasional recent examples in Spanish probably show English influence. Influence of a folk etymology from the Spanish personal name María-Juana or its familiar form Mari-Juana has frequently been suggested; if so this would appear to have occurred within English.
